I have a file where I want to scan it, find the character '{' and create a new line, then add an IP on the new line and add a semi-cologne to the end of the line, then write to a config file.
I can accomplish this with the following sed command when running from shell:
sed -i 's/{/&\n1.1.1.1;/g' /tmp/test.conf
inside test.conf:
acl testACL{
};
the output from the command in shell shows:
acl testACL{
1.1.1.1;
};
works perfect! Now the problem is when I get nodejs to execute it:
var sys = require('sys');
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
function puts(error, stdout, stderr) { sys.puts(stdout) };
exec("sed -i 's/{/&\n1.1.1.1;/g' /tmp/test.conf",puts);
return 0;
when I run the command in console: 'nodejs test.js'
I get blank output and when I check the file, the file 'test.conf' has not been altered! why?!
Also if you're thinking 'its a permissions issue!' I've had nodejs exec command write basic echos to the test config file and it worked fine.
I have also tried the 'shelljs' module with no luck there. I have tried countless combinations for hours now with no prevail! I'm puzzled.
I think you need to escape your \\n
as \\\\n
. Right now, it's getting parsed as a literal newline in the command, which is messing it up.
